I do both. Models are nice, of course, but everything Frank says is true (at least for me). Both are just different forms of modeling the same thing. It's really cool to run a physical model that you built (kit) on a layout you painstakingly also built, but when it comes to real operation and running prototypically sized trains in a variety of loacations, it's hard to beat virtual. To take the "kissing your girl friend" analogy a bit further; Is model railroadng like playing with a plastic blow-up doll rather than the real thing? But, really, all of this is only a hobby. You, yourself, participate in the way you enjoy, and who cares how anyone else does it. BTW, Frank, what kind of PC do you have and what software (it looks MSTS based from your website).
